A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

A new study reveals that certain locations of DNA are copied faster than others, which could also have an effect on mutation rate. Cell division is fundamental for life, allowing organisms to grow, ...

HOUSTON – (Aug. 9, 2022) – Knowing the structure of a complex biological system isn’t nearly enough to understand how it works. It helps to know how the system moves. In that light, Rice University ...

Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the intricate processes ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Trained on genomic data spanning the tree of life, Evo 2 reveals how artificial intelligence can ...

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...

With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its ...

R-loops are structures that form when a strand of RNA (red) forms a stable structure with double-stranded DNA, causing one strand of the DNA to form a loop. R-loops are associated with gene ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have performed a comprehensive evaluation of five artificial intelligence (AI) models trained on genomic sequences, known as DNA ...
